With gusty northerly winds and a slight drop in temperature, October bids us farewell, while a few localised showers are expected in areas such as Thessaloniki, Larissa, Karditsa, Evia and Crete.

Next week, “bitter” cold weather is expected, according to the forecast of Sakis Arnaoutoglou. Specifically, today there will be more phenomena in Thermaikos, Thessaly, Evia and Volos, as well as in the southwest of the Peloponnese, while more rain is expected in Crete. On Friday and Saturday there will be no rain in the whole territory, while on Sunday there may be a few phenomena in Magnesia, Evia and Larissa. From the beginning of the new week, on Tuesday, November 5, a sharp drop in temperature is expected, a total change in the weather scene, without the characteristics of this change having yet been determined, the meteorologist says.

For air masses coming from Ukraine and will cause a drop in temperature by 5 to 7 degrees, has spoken and the director of EMY Thodoris Kolydas, who notes that the cold coming will not be … polar.
